Here’s a fourth and fifth plank.
Repeal the 17th Amendment.
Double the size of the House. Get reps down to about 360,000 constituents each.
Today’s farm team for senators is the House. Repeal the 17A and once again state legislatures will be the primary source for senators. Today’s reps just take their populist mindsets with them to the senate.
That's what is really needed - even though conservatives raise objections to the cost of paying the new reps, which is superficial compared to the current bribery problems. It really needs to be more like triple - 1,500 or so Reps. Lots of new conservative voices who can't be bullied by the Old Guard. Less bang for the buck for K Street manipulators.
